Field Trip to Doosan Resort

Teaching at Bambini has been great. The kids are great and the other teachers have such a great help. This week I'll be starting my second full week of teaching my own lesson plans, in my own classroom unsupervised. I'm really getting the hang of this teaching thing. Anyway, last Friday the whole school went on a field trip (they take one once a month) to Doosan Resort swimming pool. It was a great time, the kids had a lot of fun and I stayed in the shade.

The post graduation blues

Graduating from college was a lot of hard work but trying to figure out what to do with that pretty piece of paper was even more difficult. Like many college grads, I was unable to decide what to do with my life. Grad school seemed like a daunting task of more papers, boring professors, late nights, and even more student loans. And beginning a career seemed even more impossible with a pretty much useless history degree from a no name private college. So what were my options? I could get some part time jobs and live off my parents till I got the nerve to apply to grad schools or till they kicked me out or I could take the path less traveled. I picked the latter.

I have always had a desire to travel and see the world, to live and experience another culture and way of life, and I was given that chance and more. My sister Emily suggested that I send her friend Jeremy, who has been living in Korea for the past couple of years teaching English for Bambini Edu-Centers through out Korea, my resume. I though why not it couldn't hurt. So I did and I've been living in Korea for the past two weeks.
